At the SKAL tournament, the students acted as judges for holes-in-one
and determined the winners for the ‘closest to the pin’ contests.
Proceeds from the tournament help fund scholarships for island
college students.

The CMAA Golf Tournament is also an annual fundraising event
where representatives from various areas of the hospitality
industry get together to raise money for scholarships granted
to TIM students. The CMAA grants $500 scholarships to multiple
recipients every semester, and HPU students are frequently
awardees.
